What is Zed?

Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor written in Rust, with a built-in AI agent panel and edit prediction. The agent takes standing instructions from a project .rules file (and the global Rules Library) — where an adapted SKILL.md lives.

Zed skills, answered

What is Zed?
Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor written in Rust, with a built-in AI agent panel and edit prediction. See zed.dev.
How do I add a SKILL.md to Zed?
Append its guidance to a project .rules file, or save it as an entry in Zed's Rules Library for use across projects. The agent applies it as standing context.
Do other agents' rules work in Zed?
Yes — Zed also reads files like .cursorrules and .windsurfrules, so a shared rules file (including an adapted SKILL.md) can serve Zed alongside other editors.
